I don't know what to say about women who try to force themselves on guys. A big mistake and just as wrong as when men refuse to take "no" for an answer. When I stated I chose it had zero to do with manipulation. It had to do with being honest. It was a man I had a casual friendship with, that was no longer appropriate to continue because I'd met someone and fallen in love. Some of these incel commenters do not realize: I was talking abt a "friend with benefits" that was in a polyamorous relationship. When I first agreed to see him, he was open about it and described polyamorism to me. I also met and spent time with his wife and got to know other partners. He freaked out when I said, "now I have met someone else and want to have a monogamous relationship." Maybe I should have been explicit abt that. I've never pursued a man -- never would, never will. If they are uninterested then it's obviously a fruitless and unnecessary pursuit.
